TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN - OCTOBER 10: Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed speaks from the stage during a campaign event at the State Theater on October 10, 2026 in Traverse City, Michigan. A former public health director and firebrand progressive, El-Sayed has been polling ahead of his Republican opponent and former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, but the lead remains within the margin of error. Al-Sayed could become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate from a state that has not elected a GOP senator in 32 years.
